Today’s Americans are so damn soft, get over it.

If we ever have something really dangerous spreading, we are all screwed.

Not my problem. Don’t have kids you can’t afford. This is a result of the govt saying “it’s okay, we will take care of your mistake”

If your kid has a decent teacher, I’m sure your kid got sent home with all kinds or workbooks and links to other educational apps/websites.

My daughter has plenty of educational stuff to do the next 4 weeks.

Her teacher will be sending daily worksheets as well.

I fully understand that schools are nothing but glorified daycare centers, but it's interesting you haven't said anything about the education kids are missing out on.


That's another topic, isn't it?

The governor ordered the schools closed and apparently also said the time doesn't have to be made up.

Just saying that because of the government closing schools, parents now have to choose between an added expense or not working and not getting paid.



Do you not have savings?

$40 per kid, per day.

To me, their costs are hiring a few teenagers and stay at home moms (or teachers) to watch over things, some increased utilities cost (they own their own studio building), some snacks and drinks.

Maybe $20 per day, per kid.


Profit is bad. They should only charge the actual input costs. What kind of piece of shite is trying to make money as opposed to doing work for charity? The nerve of some people


You're retarded

Doggy day care is like $20 a day.

And everyone should max out their 401K and have 6 months of savings that can be quickly accessed.

But here we are.

$40 is pretty standard for day camps during the summer and holidays.

Why should it be different now? Y’all realize the amount of insurance these places have to carry?

I want you to go walk through your average inner-city public school and tell me if you think the vast majority of these parents have savings.

My entire post is about Capitalism.

I find it interesting that some people look to make money off of others when they are desperate.

It is what it is. Greed is good, etc.

Inner city kids also are not going to day camps

They are being watched by their Aunts or Grandparents or cousin

I feel that people who are paying $20 a day for "doggy day care" don't have kids.
